Salvini Family- I am sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose someone you love. Reminesicing on the old time might really make you sad. By confiding in your friends at this time will no doubt help you to get passed all of the sad times. What if that isn't enough? What if you need more help? There is someone to always help you. Someone who is only a prayer away.... GOD! God actually invites to call upon him in this times of distress in times of need. Why? He knows what we go through and feels sorry for us so he is more than willing to help us. Never forget that He is always willing to help.
